Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Sophie Edgar barely recognizes her husband, Thomas, an amateur naturalist, when he returns from the Amazon, where he had hoped to find his long-dreamed-of mythical butterfly, Papilio sophia. The optimistic young Edwardian gentleman is gone, replaced by a weak, nearly mute shadow of the man she married. Unable to break through his heartbreaking silence, Sophie must glean what she can from his diaries and boxes of exquisite butterflies in order to discover what happened to Thomas in the lush and perilous jungles of Brazil. In the process, she learns as much about herself and her marriage as she does about the secrets harbored by a haunted soul. A magnificent debut, written in rich and sensuous prose, Rachael King's The Sound of Butterflies is an unforgettable journey from the demure gentility of turn-of-the-twentieth-century England into the heart of darkness.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The Scorpio Races meets The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea in this "eerie.atmospheric" (School Library Journal, starred review) young adult fantasy about a girl who must defy tradition to save her beloved island from the monstrous forces that are tearing it apart. On the isolated island of Brack, the people live by an ancient bargain: every year, a sacrifice must be made to the Glimm, the creature that haunts the salt marshes. Once, it demanded children. Eight years ago, it should have taken Lotta. Instead, the monster spared her and claimed her pony, shattering tradition and anointing her both folk hero and object of suspicion. Now sixteen, Lotta tends the Council's sacrificial horses, keeping her distance from the islanders who whisper about her fate. But something is stirring. The island hums beneath her feet, and a song threads through her dreams. Is the Glimm calling Lotta back? When she crosses paths with Moss--a boy once hidden from sacrifice--a daring bog rescue sparks a chain of events that forces them both to question the Council's rule and the lore that binds their people. As crops and animals are blighted and uncanny weather plagues the community, Lotta and Moss must decide whether to obey the Council or risk everything to uncover the island's deepest secrets. Because on Brack, monsters come in many forms.…

Zustand: Very Good. : En 1903, Thomas Edgar se despide de su joven esposa Sophie y se embarca en un viaje al Amazonas, donde sueña con encontrar una mariposa mítica que lo haga famoso y rico. Sin embargo, sus sueños cambian poco después de su llegada a Brasil. Meses después, Thomas regresa a casa, delgado, enfermo y, lo que es peor, incapaz o no dispuesto a hablar. Frustrada por su silencio, Sophie toma medidas cada vez más drásticas para descubrir la verdad sobre lo que le sucedió a su esposo mientras estaba fuera. Pero a medida que revisa los diarios de Thomas y las cajas de exquisitas mariposas, se hace evidente que la verdad puede no ser fácil de soportar.
